It is a beautiful day on Conch Street, where SpongeBob and Patrick are giggling and playing, running back and forth between their houses. Squidward finally opens up his blinds to look out of his window, and this annoys him because they are running in his yard the whole time. He finally loses his temper, and he walks outside to confront them. He stops SpongeBob and Patrick with two suction cups, and screams at them about playing in his yard. SpongeBob explains to Squidward about playing in their yard, and that they're using his yard as a walkway. Squidward now wants to make them choose which one their yards to play, and leave his yard out of this mess. Patrick thinks he good at choosing, but can't decide which yard to play in today, and finally let's Squidward choose. He puts SpongeBob and Patrick in their own yards, and draws a box around his, and won't let SpongeBob or Patrick step into the box, and goes inside his own house.

They eventually meet up and start playing. Squidward can hear them playing so he goes outside, but they are not in his yard. He looks in Partick's house, but they are not there. He looks all around SpongeBob's house, but they are not there. He can't find them anywhere and eventually that sends Squidward into a rage as he believes SpongeBob and Patrick have finally become ghosts, so he shouts "WHERE ARE THEY?!" and starts jumping up and down. This causes the roots underground to wiggle, and SpongeBob and Patrick think they are dancing. So they start dancing. This sinks Squidwards house and Squidward finally realizes that they've been underground the whole time and enters his house through the roof hatch. Squidward comes out of his house and makes SpongeBob and Patrick dig it back out while he relaxes, but Patrick accidently breaks Sqidward's window and SpongeBob accidently lets all the dirt flood Squidward and SpongeBob out of the house and Squidward threatens SpongeBob and Patrick if they don't obey Squidward dig out his house by the count of 3, Squidward will turn them into chum. SpongeBob and Patrick dig more, but when Squidward reaches 3, they start running away in panic from Squidward, digging more tunnels. As they are doing this, SpongeBob and Patrick sink all the buildings in Bikini Bottom, including their own houses, downtown, and even The Krusty Krab. Plankton then realizes that The Chum Bucket is the only resteraunt in town, but it sinks too. After a whole lot of digging, SpongeBob and Patrick come to a rock, and a furious Squidward corners towards them. After he yells at them, all of Bikini Bottom sinks underground. Sometime later, SpongeBob and Squidward and the other Bottomites are digging out Bikini Bottom." The episode ends with SpongeBob saying "Another beautiful day under Bikini Bottom", and Squidward putting on a minning helmet, and saying "I hate neighbors".

*This episode is probably Squidward's darkest role yet, as he tries to seperate SpongeBob and Patrick, and he threatens to grind them into chum if they don't put his house back on the count of 3. Chum is fish guts, and this is an underwater show, so Squidward meant he was going to kill them.
